> "Dark Star" was the precursor comedy scifi.

Never heard of that one (love the atmosphere of Silent Running though), is it any good?

Its synopsis reads like it may have been part of the inspiration for the seminal sci-fi-comedy series Red Dwarf.

Its a student film. Its a classic frat-house set in space with minor gems. One guy has a home-made jamjar and scraps piano he plays to keep himself sane. the "rimmer" annoying character keeps a very sad video diary. There is a talking bomb. the Captain is semi-alive in cryo-storage.

It's tremendous and interesting for a school project. It is also referenced in many places in newer movies.
